I think there is a bug in the database feature: it won't let me remove games. When I try to remove a game a message appears "One moment pleaase..." and nothing happens! This message just remains forever and if I close and re-open Lucas Chess the game I tried to remove is still there.

Also if I try to add a game to the database and paste PGN it doesn't work (a message appears near the bottom of the game window for a split second & disappears again). Even if I click Cancel a blank game gets created, which is what led me to want to delete a game from the DB in the first place.

Hi, Lucas, It is possible to play against an engine with no opening book?I've tried it after unchecking [INITIAL MOVES]->BOOK, but nevertheless LC play the book. I've even created an empty book.bin as a workaround to bypass the problem, but it doesn't work too.

If you want, you can test a little change I have done :https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B0D6J3YCrUouVEFUdjRnZ3dmb0E/edit?usp=sharingIt download library.zip, you need to change file with the same name in the LC folder.

There appears to be a bug in this mode when doing full game analysis of a PGN game. Occasionally, it will display a move as being a blunder because it allows a mate in one, even though it does not allow a mate in one at all. I have taken a screenshot of one such example of this, though I have seen it several times:

The pieces are called FritzSWS and you can find them here: http://gorgonian.weebly.com/lucas-chess.html

I will send you the board texture, too, if you want, but if you go to the BabasChess downloads page on my site there are a bunch of board textures you can download and it's one of them (called XAutumnCherryLight).

but I just noticed that Lucas Chess misread O-O-O as O-O! I don't think that affected the M1 error, though. Analysis settings were Stockfish 5, 10 seconds per move, Multi-PV=3, Normal priority, Do not scan book moves based on GM_1990-2012.bin, start from end of game.

Hi Phillip, I have uploaded a new step, with a try to fix the problem that I believe is a stockfish bug.There is no problem to read pgn you send me, in relation to O-O-O problem, send me please, the pgn that have the problem, to fix it.And thanks for the links to graphics references.

I played Lucas Chess in a Intel Celeron (R) 2.2ghz, and when I try to use help, Stockfish just bug, consume a lot of memory, and not respond. Its normal? and about texture on board? its posssible? thanks, I love LC, its simple and useful.
